Attacking the tribe he kidnaps Canary but the stone eludes him. The brothers are taken to be trained as gladiators and years later have grown to be VERY big. They escape and set off on a quest to find the jewel and rescue Canary.

VIBE

A gloriously cheesy, high-energy romp. Expect big muscles, questionable dialogue, and a relentless pace. It's pure, unadulterated 80s fantasy fun that doesn't take itself seriously for a second.
